through all your abuse, that you are quite simply wrong to support
larry's position with regard to the term 'methers'. The term is
foul, as are both are for your supporting it.


Instead of a bead-rattling contest, it's always best to look the word up

Of the two 'derived terms' shown there, it might be said that one lives
in the south-east and one in the south-west. Just a matter of deciding
which is whom.

In more modern usage, 'meth' usually refers to either methamphetamine or
methicillin, the latter perhaps most famously as the M in MRSA, neither
of which drug will help two little boys grow up (except perhaps in
extreme overdose).
